How can BIM automate structural drawings and specifications?

In my experience, having a well planned parametric library is they key to ensuring consistency in design throughout all your projects and provides a considerable amount of time savings during the design process.

Otimiza??o Estrutural com BIM: Objetivo: Encontrar a solu??o estrutural mais eficiente para um projeto, considerando diversos parametros como custo, seguran?a e desempenho. Metodologia: Criar um modelo BIM detalhado da estrutura, incluindo todos os elementos e suas propriedades. Simular diferentes cenários de carga e analisar o comportamento da estrutura. Otimizar a geometria, se??o transversal e materiais dos elementos estruturais. Benefícios: Redu??o do custo total da estrutura (até 20%). Aumento da seguran?a e confiabilidade da estrutura. Melhoria do desempenho estrutural (resistência, rigidez, durabilidade).

Building Information Modeling (BIM) automates structural drawings and specifications through its comprehensive digital representation of a building's physical and functional characteristics. By integrating structural analysis tools within the BIM environment, engineers can perform simulations and calculations to ensure structural integrity. This seamless integration facilitates the generation of accurate construction drawings and specifications based on real-time data, streamlining the entire design and documentation process while minimizing errors and discrepancies.

The Common Data Environment allows all the different stakeholders to view a single source of truth. This means that we can ensure that all the stakeholders have access to the latest design models and can reference it into their respective designs to come closer to a clash free design. As a final quality check, the BIM team can run clash checks on the models received in the CDE for further clash resolution during the design stages.

Finally, BIM offers you a range of automation tools and features that can help you streamline and simplify your structural drawings and specifications process. For example, you can use BIM to generate and update schedules, tables, lists, and annotations automatically, based on the data and parameters of your model. You can also use BIM to create and apply templates, standards, and rules for your drawings and specifications, as well as to customize and automate your workflows and tasks. Moreover, you can use BIM to integrate and leverage other technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and cloud computing, to enhance your structural drawings and specifications capabilities and outcomes

Currently, on the plans the engineers will specify the structural members notional names then match it on a table/legend with the actually specifications. The same with welding tags. Both Revit and Tekla can do the same thing. Albeit one can better perform analysis on Tekla structural designer. To facilitate the BIM workflow, If the tags can be read from the tekla file automatically. As in the BIM database should be able to contain "external data" from the Revit file and inform the tag family. The parameter names should be set and reserved from a immutable name from the bsDD. The difficulty is that data is in string format and the continental steel section and metal plates values including the weight of it are actual physical properties
